The acute phase of cerebral infarction may have some effect on the heart, which is generally called cerebro-cardiac syndrome.
As a result of the acute brain lesions, the heart also shows corresponding changes, such as panic, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or pain in the anterior region of the heart, arrhythmia, etc., and in severe cases, acute myocardial infarction may also occur. Especially for the medulla oblongata, thalamus and other parts of the brain infarction, brain-center syndrome is more likely to appear.
If a patient with this type of cerebral infarction also develops cardiac discomfort, cardiac monitoring should be performed aggressively and closely to protect the function of the heart and prevent serious arrhythmias and heart failure.
If a cerebral infarction with heart discomfort occurs, it is important to seek prompt medical attention to identify the cause and to have the doctor provide targeted treatment.
